I don't think it's your MAF but if you want to check for sure, unplug it when the car does the idling issue and if the car instantly stops acting up your MAF is shot. If it doesn't change then mark it off the list.

I got 30ish MPG baging the crap out of my N/A. I got a max of 31 mpg on my turbo when I wasn't playing with boost. Hope to hit 33 MPG (BTW this is with an auto)
